operators in North America, RFS is fully committed to delivering wireless communications solutions for PTC initiatives.

RFS brings all of the crucial wireless communications solutions, know-how and expertise needed to help North American rail operators meet PTC requirements by 2015:

Base station and wayside antennas at 160 MHz and 220 MHz

Cables, jumpers and tower components

Filter and combining solutions

Omni and yagi antennas designed for PTC applicationsOur offerings for PTC include omnidirectional and yagi antennas that were developed with direct input from North American rail operators:

Dual-band (160-165 MHz and 220-225 MHz) exposed dipole omnidirectional antennas are designed for switching yards and mountainous, curving geographies where line of sight is challenging and broad coverage is required.

Single-band (218-225 MHz) and dual-band (160-165 MHz and 218-225 MHz) yagi antennas are designed for point-to-point control station, paging and repeater applications along linear tracks where highly directional coverage is required.

RFS offers circular polarized broadband antennas for trackside and roadside repeater sites. These extremely robust and durable antennas can withstand wind speeds of 350 km/h, yet are fast and easy to install and easy to hide in roadside environments.

They operate in the 824 MHz to 960 MHz band to support a range of services, including GSM-R, and provide a highly directive pattern to support isolation from mother cell antennas. This versatility and performance helps transportation operators reduce both their antenna footprint and cable run requirements. Upper sidelobe suppression makes these antennas an attractive alternative to yagi antennas.
